It is sort of a shame that a spinner can sometimes make the difference between a really good looking plane and a great looking plane.

Designing a spinner was a real ordeal for me once. Quote by CP : "The backplate could be made from aircraft plywood and the cone from balsa with a fiberglass skin. It would only take about 2 weekends to make"
This is true but for me to get the outside shape right was a real bear and it never did come out right. Since I had no machining experience all I had to do was draw the stinking profile shape! It always managed to be just a little too curved at the nose and a little too flat at the base. @*$*%# parabolas! Sometimes a cowl shape or airfoil will get to me as well.
If it weren't for this weakness on my part I'm sure I could manage one myself.

There must be a Profili for spinners!!!

For most 1/2A flying we would hardly benefit from the performance aspect of spinners but some noses only look right with a nice one!
